This procurement falls under the installation services of communications equipment sector and is based in Gloucester, United Kingdom. The tender is open until 6 January 2021, with a contract period commencing on 3 March 2021 and lasting until 3 March 2025. The total estimated value of the contract is £140,000, and bidders are required to present an existing commercial off-the-shelf solution compatible with meeting platforms such as Cisco WebEx and Microsoft Teams. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in webcasting and video conferencing technologies, particularly those with existing software and solutions for hybrid meeting setups. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that design or supply video transmission apparatus, video conferencing equipment, and associated software packages will find this tender particularly advantageous. Competing in this process could enable these businesses to establish a valuable partnership with a local government authority, enhancing their visibility and reputation in the public sector. ## Notice The council is looking to procure a new webcasting provider that shall enable council meetings taking place in the council chamber and the cabinet suite (meeting rooms 1, 2 and 3) to be broadcast to the public. The webcasting system shall allow for hybrid meetings where some attendees are physically in the council chamber or cabinet suite, while others are attending virtually via the council's current virtual meetings platform Cisco WebEx Meetings. As Office 365 is rolled out across the council, this is likely to change to Microsoft Teams. Any solution must be compatible with both WebEx and Teams. The council is looking to procure a Commercial off the Shelf (COTs) solution. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not procuring a development contract i.e. bidders must have an existing solution which meets our requirement at the time of bidding. We wish to complete a successful process that attracts competition in order to achieve value for money for the council. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1be26f9-9fff-436b-af4b-638792889a42 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Dec 2020 | | Submission deadline | 6 Jan 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Mar 2021 - 3 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £140,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLOUCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | GLOUCESTER | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL1 2TG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Gloucester | | Electoral ward | Westgate | | Westminster constituency | Gloucester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 48 - Software package and information systems - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 32223000 - Video transmission apparatus - 32232000 - Video-conferencing equipment - 48515000 - Video conferencing software package - 51300000 - Installation services of communications equipment ## Release History - 7 Dec 2020 at 14:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1be26f9-9fff-436b-af4b-638792889a42 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e1be26f9-9fff-436b-af4b-638792889a42 7th December 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
